The changing city

For the good part of the city, several areas have been renovated and redeveloped to make the landscape look pleasant and relaxing. The city's waterfront, for example, is decorated with trees and a long concrete pavement. There are several genres of cafes and restaurants in colonial style buildings along the riverfront. For another perspective of the city, strol down the city streets to watch local trades, from modern supermarkets and boutiques to street stalls.

For the bad past of the city, take a day tour to Tuol Sleng Museum of the Genocide, a former high school converted to a torture camp during the civil war. The photos and torture machines displayed at the meseum are spine-chilling reminders of the brutality of the civil war. The night trip at bars and night clubs offers an interesting aspect of the captial city. However, it's wise to stay with the crowds and never walk alone after dark - night-time robberies are common.

Visit the lost empire

Visitors are amazed at the scale of Angkor City. The complex covers around 400 square kilometers and comprises over 100 monuments and edifices of temples, sculptures, statues and incomparable bas-relief that have withstood the ravages of time.

The enormous temple complexes had been expanded to the large area by successive kings. The architectural style of Angkor is largely based on Indian (Hindu) cosmology to symbolize the center of the universe and mixed with Chinese and local architecture. At the fall of the Empire, the jungle reclaimed the decaying ruins until being rediscovered in 1861.

Angkor Wat

Perhaps the most famous temple of Angkor complex is Angkor Wat. The temple complex built under the reigns of Suryavarman II (1113 - 1150) presents several architectural masterpieces of ancient Khmers. The compound of Angkor Wat covers almost a square mile and is surrounded by a huge moat 180 meter wide. On this tour, our guide will elaborate on the design and history of the vast pyramid temples and their surrounding structures.

Bayon

The eeriness and mystery that looms over Angkor Thom is enhanced even more by the hazy appearance of Bayon with its carved heads of Jayavaraman VII (accredited for constructing the city) jutting from the top of the building. Each of the 54 towers surrounding the edifice depict smiling faces of the king portrayed as Boddhisattva Avalokitesvara (Buddha), which may appear somewhat ominous to modern eyes.

Ta Phrom; temple of memory

The temple complex of Ta Prohm and Preah Khan are filled with memory. Built during the 12th century, the temples were dedicated to King Jayavarman VII's parents. At Ta Prohm, the temple ruins are invaded by trees and deliberately left in the same conditions as it was found in 1860. To explore Ta Phrom is to climb over piles of fallen sandstone blocks or sift through narrow passages-some parts of the temple are in accessible. Despite these difficulties, this sanctuary is considered by many as the most romantic site in Angkor. Another temple complex near Ta Phrom is Preah Khan in which its buildings were used as religious university, residence and hospitals.
